Hello,

I have Zoe Rom v5.7 on my LG GT540 and i need to remove the sim lock, to use a sim card from a diferent network.

I've purchased the code but now i can't seem to be able to enter it! None of the usual methods work.

Help would be much apreciated! :fingers-crossed:
[GT540 Optimus General] LeoPosas:
If you enter the code and doesn't work, it's a wrong code.

AW: [Q] How to enter unlock code with Zoe rom 5.7?

Maybe try with stock rom?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[GT540 Optimus General] dissident77:
Solved

You are absolutely right!

I had to revert back to stock rom to have access to the unlock code input screen. (by typping 2945#*540#)

If i'm not mistaken, all custom rom's not based on stock builds, lack the support for these "hidden" menus.

Anyway, it took me a wile but it's done! :victory:

Thanks for the support and a big "Thank you very much" to Leoposas for the best gt540 rom out there! :highfive:

Sorry for the horrible subject; I couldn't think of anything better.

Anyway, my glass is cracked but still functions. Asus wants $350ish to repair it so I told them to just forget it.

Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do to get a few more months out of this thing before I buy a new tablet? I'm thinking like using a windshield repair kit perhaps, or maybe putting a zagg protector on it.

Any tips at all would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jgrimoldy:
Like you mentioned, windshield repair (or in your case, damage mitigation) might be the most effective approach. I don't know what they do to keep cracks from spreading (i.e. how that technology works), but if it can halt a windshield crack, it'll probaby work for the Prime.

I don't know that a screen protector will halt the spreading of cracks. Remember that a windshield is two pieces of glass with plastic sandwiched between. Since that plastic center is affixed to both parts of the windshield, you'd think that it would halt the spread of cracks, but it doesn't really. If something like that doesn't keep cracks from spreading, a peel-and-stick screen protector probably won't on a tablet, sorry to say.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] torimatorima:
I really hope not. How long do you think they will keep it updated ?

Galaxy S2 has went from Gingerbread through ICS and now it's getting Jelly Bean. Since Xperia S is starting from ICS, does it mean it will be getting new android after Jelly Bean?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G.Trenchev:
XS is starting from GB,but it was an outdated launch anyway.Sony agreed to support phones(at least flagships) for 18 months of release or with 2 major updates.So somewhere in august it ends for the S.BUT,the Xperia SL is released in September,and it is exactly the same phone(just a little higher CPU clock speed).And it started with ICS,which means it should get at least JB 4.2(though that's not exactly a major update over 4.1).So if the SL gets it,the S should too,even Sony-style excuse for not doing it will sound just stupid.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
well if sony stop XS on Jellybean (hope not), we still have CM rom :D.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
SL will stop at August also. Look at Arc S. Got the same fate as Arc...

And I'm pretty sure we won't have beyond 4.1 by Sony, considering Qualcomm didn't gave the sources for 4.2 for our S3 processors (which isn't exactly their fault, as they are a bit outdated. ) T (and variations) and V are the only ones that should have official 4.2 or luckily 5.0, if Qualcomm cooperates.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
I feel SO bad for that :/

Sony's Timescape UI is AND WILL ALWAYS BE the best and I want to experience it with the latest possible android version... Just... PLEASE Sony AT LEAST udpate our 2012 phones with snapdragon S3 chipsets up to Android 5.0... AT LEAST 5.0.... Samsung did a good job with their S II for keeping it updated but damn TouchWiz UI sucks ****. But yeah speaking of Qualcomm not updating their sources/drivers for our devices... I guess it's impossible. Hopefully devs can do that! Wish the best for them :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] torimatorima:
wow, well that sucks ass! :eek:

i just got this phone in december. and now i feel like i bought a phone from 2010, not 2012. 5.0 android would be the time to stop, not now. please sony keep it updated!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
That's why we have xda :) .

Custom rom's are fast, stabile and we already have 4.2 - ok, it's not for daily use but I'am sure it'll be soon.

So, when Sony relese official JB and dev from xda get new drivers and other stuff they need - we'll get stabile 4.2.

The other day I installed official ICS ( I'am on JB for a few month's) - it didn't last long :) , I just don't like it anymore.

So...long live XS and xda :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The problem is that devs can't do much without sources, thing that Qualcomm isn't giving us.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Agree... Android 5 or something like that?! Probably is't possible on XS, but we'll get better JB 4.2 ( custom ) when official JB 4.1 from Sony comes out.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
What we (XS users) and other Snapdragon S3 phone users (such as HTC Sensation HD) can do is sign a petition asking for sources and drivers for Android 5.0 (or 4.3) for our processors.

At the end of 2011, users signed a petition asking Qualcomm to release drivers and such for the ARMv6 (Snapdragon S1, for example) for ICS. It worked. That's why devices like the X10 Mini and Mini Pro, X8 and other companies devices have fully working ICS or even JB with camera.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Well... Why not, we could try. :)

I don't know how to make on line petition but if someone start one - I'am in.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Together we are stronger .... most common sentence in the former Yugoslavia, but it's true. ;)

Sony maybe have no interest bringing 5.0 to XS but we do... :)

I just love my XS.

When I first saw XS in the store I immediately fell in love with it.

Great design, great device... But I am aware that they will not update it forever so I hope dev on xda will :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Samsung makes their own chipsets so they don't have the same issues as others with sources. If Sony isn't able to update it beyond jelly bean then it is totally qualcomms fault for not putting out the resources necessary. Look at the Nexus 4 which isnt even AOSP because of qualcomms dumb ass. Their is something to be said about making your own hardware.

[HTC One X+] maritimesbob:
Have experience of an unlocked and rooted Desire HD and other phones such as G300, but this is a different ball game for me. Mostly the phone is obviously so new and an expense!

Regarding the unlocking of the bootloader and flashing a recovery. I have a Vodafone UK phone by the way.

The bootloader is unlocked through HTCdev, this wipes the data, content and everything. Does this mean the actual stock rom is wiped and the phone is essentially waiting for a new rom to be flashed?

What gives with the recoveries. Some say CWM, some say TWRP, which is the best recovery from flashing roms particularly for a Vodafone (International)?

The rom flashing is different here too. Am I limited to what roms I can flash as I on a Vodafone branded phone? How would i know what rom I can used. Would the dev state the rom is compatable for a Vodafone HOX+?

Thank you.
[HTC One X+] CirgioD:
When bootloader unlocked, stock rom stays intact, flash CWM recovery, international roms flash on any international device...:)
[HTC One X+] Kelex24:
Pretty much unless you have the AT&T or Telus version, all the international roms will work with your device. I don't believe the rom developers will specifically say Vodafone compatible.
[HTC One X+] ashamir:
So using the all in one tool to root does NOT wipe your stock rom data? I thought it does...
[HTC One X+] NasaGeek:
Unlocking your device will wipe all of your data/apps/etc. The phone's state should return to the way it was when you first bought it, however this means that the stock rom will still be on the phone, it will just have been reverted back to its default state.
[HTC One X+] ashamir:
Alright cool. I might as well flash a custom ROM at that point. I am coming from a Galaxy S so flashing was very easy with ODIN/CWM. All this bootloader stuff has me a bit lost.
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
Ok need to switch my rezound to another provider. How is.T-Mobile and do I need the leak of the gsm.update for.global?

What other carriers would be good and have maybe unlimited data? Would T-Mobile speeds be edge or 3g...
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
Yes you will need the global firmware, and so far it seems to be impossible to get anything other than edge on Tmo. They are refarming their spectrum, so you might have some luck of you're in one of those areas, but I make no promises.
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
what other carriers do you think are better to go with that have good data speeds?
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
Not a clue, to be honest. I know they've gotten spotty hspa+ on at&t with some radio recalibration.. I'm not too savvy on playing with radios though, so i never looked too deep into it. Most of the people using prepaid carriers seem like they don't mind edge network.

Just search on Google for like "xda htc rezound on tmobile" or any other carrier you want to see and it'll bring you a decent list of threads. I would recommend the xda search, but I've been doing all my research from mobile browser and Tapatalk, so search results have been hit or miss.

Looks like page plus gets 3g at least. There's a pretty active thread here in the general forums about it. Some people have been using straight talk, also.
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
thanks I may just use simple mobile as i forgot about them. They use att and tmobile sims... so i could try both out...
[HTC Rezound] raymond36136:
I set up my old rezound on straight talk with SIM card for wife. I edited the radio band and it works pretty good for her. Hspa and its around 5mbps where I live.
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
How did you edit the radio band? Is it easy to do? I am also on the leaked global Rom ice cream sandwich. I read that if you.use titanium back and make apn switcher a system app or just move it maybe to system folder then reboot and you should be able I think to use an apn switcher for mms
[HTC Rezound] raymond36136:
I used dfs cdma workshop. U just need to follow the guide about unlocking north American bands. It is very easy to do. Mms can be a bit goofy at times so I just have my wife use go sms and set the mms apn in there. The phone works pretty good.
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
Thanks

went with simple mobile $40 plan. I have edge speeds. Need to wait for Tmobile to refarm that 2g i think for better speeds... Anyone with any ideas as to how to have better speeds? Just a waiting game i think...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istetz:
A few days ago while I was on ICS 4.0 on my SGS3 (can't remember whether 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 - international stock ROM either way), I noticed that my phone was not displaying pictures correctly. For example, I took a picture with my camera and it automatically saved it to my SD card, after which it would say the picture cannot be opened. I then transferred my photos to the internal memory as I felt my SD card was getting corrupted, however the music on it still worked fine. Then I noticed a huge increase in battery usage, mostly consumed by the 'Media Storage' application (60-70%). I then updated my phone to JB 4.1.2, and my pictures would not show up at all (music was alright). After some research I found out that there could be a faulty Media Storage app, but it only mentioned the rooted ROM version for people wanting JB earlier than the release date. I did what the instructions I found told me and cleared the data on the Media Storage app (around 4 GB). This solved the problem momentarily but the data keeps going up and using the battery. Now I'm stuck with the Media Storage disabled since I need my battery, however it's annoying to hear a full ringtone for a simple notification, not to mention I want to listen to my music.

What I want to know is, is it a problem of a faulty SD card, corrupted (music) files, or a faulty Media Storage app?

I haven't tried removing the SD card and leaving it to see if it still consumes battery but I just formatted it and am looking to see what happens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istetz:
With the Media Storage off, there have been HUGE improvements on battery life! Wow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xForsa:
You could try formatting your SD card, if this doesn't work it may be the case that your SD card has bad sectors.

If you want to know wether that is the case, you can try this:

Click Start and then Run. Type cmd and then click OK. Type the following:

chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /r

That will scan for bad sectors on the card and repair any found.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Meditating_Apes:
I was a bit confused about how to use OpenVPN on an Android device because there was so little information around. I thought I'd post this to make it easy for others. It turns out to be very simple. I have an Android phone (Note 2, Jellybean) rooted and Busybox installed,

but neither is necessary

.

The following steps relate to using an Android device with a commercial vpn service (like an anonymizing service amoung others), but they should help clarify in other situations.

Step 1: download the OpenVPN config files from your vpn provider.

Step 2: download, install and start "OpenVPN for Android by Arne Schwabe" (O4A) (get it from any android app source, it's free, but donation to the author is optional and its a great app).

Step 3: on the "VPN Profiles" page of O4A, use the folder icon upper right to browse to the .ovpn config file for a server, select, and save it on the following page. The server name will appear on the Profiles page.

Note: Sometimes the server config files include a .p12 file which O4A will want to import, then require a password to decrypt...just uncheck that file (upper left) before saving; later O4A will ask for a password, just leave it blank and hit "OK", it will connect just fine (at least with my vpn provider).

Step 4: open the settings for the server you just imported (icon to the right of the server name), navigate to the "Basic" page, and enter your username and password at the bottom of the page (if your provider uses the u/p type connection). YOU ARE DONE :) (but, you will need to repeat this for each server you want to use).

Step 5: tap on the server name on the "Profiles" page, O4A will open the log file and you will see it going through the steps of the connection process in both the log and the notification bar . When it's finished successfully, you'll see "connected". You can check the connection in the log file. Also depending on your device the connection will show in the notification bar for as long as its connected. You can disconnect by tapping the notification.

The correct configuration settings for OpenVPN are usually included in the .ovpn file, so you likely won't need to change any config setting in O4A. However, you can add the line "auth-nocache" to the .ovpn file manually or add it on the O4A page "Advanced -> Custom Options". This will prevent the username/password from being cached if that's important to you.

NOTE: Using dnsleaktest.com I have noticed that google dsn servers appear sometimes as a dns server. This

might

represent a dns leak as there would seem to be no reason, for example, for a European located server to use a U.S. located google dns server. I'm not clear about why the google servers are showing up, maybe someone can verify/clarify.

However, you can force a dns server of your choosing by going to the "IP and DNS" page of the server config settings in O4A, and select "Override DNS Setting by Server". You can then use the default dns servers chosen by the author or enter your own.

Enjoy! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lyinelriche:
What is your choice server? I see free and fee ones, but wondering about true encryption security too.

I'm just now looking into this, and am curious at what point vpn should be considered or if it's overkill for me.
